| Posted: | | | | I got a strange PM from a forum moderator today... one that makes literally no sense. Quote: Please refrain from namecalling of any kind in the contribution comments and votes. I only have a few contributions up for vote with no name calling what so ever. And I did no name calling in any vote comments.... matter a fact I have none that I have voted no to recently. Not to mention the fact that if there is one thing I can't stand is name calling. I wanted to reply to ask where I did this name calling so I could see what they see or point out their mistake... but there is no way to reply to one... so I am asking here.... Where did I name call please? This is pretty insulting to me since name calling is such a pet peeve to me. | | | Pete |

| Posted: | | | | I understand your frustration. There should be a way to contact a moderator, especially under the circumstances you find yourself in. The moderator can always cut one off at the knees if the contact isn't of worth. | | | Graham |

| Posted: | | | | I'm sure this was a mistake Pete. I have never seen you respond in any way that could be seen as inappropriate either in the forums or contribution notes.
I can imagine your frustration and if this post does not get a response, I would contact Ken or Gerri directly in regards to this matter. |

| Posted: | | | | I'm glad I'm reading this now, an hour after this post is made public,, until I read this later it might be removed by the moderator and I would never know what it was you asked.. and I do feel your frustration in this area..... ![](/images/emoticons/neutral.gif) | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

| Posted: | | | | Well I am hoping this will stay up... as I am not so much commenting on the mod action as much as I am asking for clarification. And I wouldn't have done it publicly if I could have just replied to the PM. | | | Pete |

The only moderation messages that merit editing are those that call out users (by name or not by name). Pete, I'll look into it. | | | Invelos Software, Inc. Representative |

| Posted: | | | | Looks like the admin made a clerical error when identifying the user to message. Likely your message appeared next to the culprit and they misclicked. I've reset the admin counter for your account and I apologize for the error. I'll speak with the admin as well - I'm sure he'll be as embarrassed as I am. | | | Invelos Software, Inc.

| Posted: | | | | Oh I agree with that. That is the reason I think we should be able to reply to the mod's PM's that way we don't need to take it to the forum on such occasions. | | | Pete |

| Posted: | | | | Like Kathy, I already thought this could never be meant for you. Glad that's exactly what it turns out to be. And you're right about being unable to reply to Moderator PM's. |

| Posted: | | | | Thanks... I was pretty sure of that myself... but I couldn't think of a better way to find out for sure. | | | Pete |
